I installed the iridium NGK's a few weeks ago & I swear it seems like it idles smoother! It also cranks much easier since I adjusted my decompression solenoid arm after reading about it in another thread. I highly recommend doing it as well!

Menards had them today for $5.44 each. I wouldn't have thought a home improvement store would have bike plugs.

Those are the standard NGK plugs that comes in the R* Roadkill just gave the number for the NGK Iridiums. My bike didn't like the standard NGK's but did well on the Autolite and love the NGK Iridiums.
